Surely now they just cut the power on the lines and if a train has broken down they shunt it along..all this detonator stuff is from the steam age Anyhoo I do see the need for a second person absolutely. But the RMT has been job protectionism plain and simple. They know 5 years from now there...

No one gives a **** about the RMT Quite funny when you think about it.

Yes but that will probably affect services week after next or whatever as they have to "wind down" the schedule.

Exactly because the RMT strike is a minor irritant in the grand scheme of things and us commuters are used to that.

Itll take a couple of days for the network to readjust. chuckles at the RMT tho. Still striking and not really regarded as important. sorry I mean impotent. The drivers are the prize I dont see anyone calling the RMT in. they must be sooooo pissed off.

Yep this. Plus lets take things further and the GTR court action is successful and therefore they cant strike...the drivers can still VOLUNTARILY work to rule (as opposed to being directed by their union) and GTR cant do anything about it so the same shit service will still remain.

Its going to take something like that so others who dont understand the dispute can see how utterly shit the service is. Bear in mind its shocking at the moment and the drivers dont have to work overtime...which is also affecting things massively. Whilst the union are telling them not to so its...

The RMT are generally recognised as the more militant of the two and a throwback to the 70s. ASLEF are quite mild so if they are pissed off then its with valid reason.

To further my point this morning unadvertised until right at the last min a Brighton to Victoria direct train at 6.30am. Wasn't there yesterday on the timetables.

I know. On the ABC page we get lazy journos saying "can we follow you into work when the strike is on" Whats the story tho? Someone has arranged alt transport? The answer is generally get yourself to London Bridge at 4pm on a NON strike day and watch the carnage unfold as delays and...

I know we have our differences but that is frankly shit. As in shit by Southern not by you.

Perfectly put. DOO is safe but you need the technology, investment and staff for it to be so. And I acknowledge its not there. As a result of DOO some jobs will be phased out, its only natural. My argument with the button pressers is that they can see that so they are taking action now. Its job...

Nope. They spout just as much shit these days as well. Esp when they says the public are on their side. No they ****ing aint. Apart from one I know but he is in Berlin so that doesn't count.

Spot on.

If Ibwas you I would be claiming every day and put an explanation in that little box as I gtee they will try the not published route. But keep resubmitting amd resubmitting and resubmitting and resubmitting and resublitting...

Ha! Yes I saw that. At 11.30pm yesterday it wasnt there. Checked at 6am this morning and there it was!

Would make sense. Bit like the Chiltern line or whatever with its 98% punctuality pootling along. Same for East and West Sussex to Stains and Hastings amd stations in the area. Not a bad idea. Then leave the main Btn, Lewes, LA, Eastbourne and Bognor to London to SASTA.

No we really dont. Whar we need are the unions to realise the public are not on their side and enough is enough. They need to get back to work so the world can see how shit southern are generally, plus they need to read build a bonfire and we want falmer in how to bring things to the media...

Yes. People like me. A just and noble cause originally. Now **** them and their members club. Change legislation and ban unions on the railways. Sack them all make it illegal to rehire them or if you do make sure they relinquish union membership. Enough is enough.
